Subject: RE: efdss dances at Sharp House
I agree Captain in fact our band GIGCB are at Cecil Sharp House Tomorrow Sat 16th for a Euro Ceildh.(French ,Breton and English Dances)
There are some wonderful events organised for Cecil Sharp House and a lot are poorly attended.The Big Hall takes a lot of filling and to create an atmosphere you need about 250-300 people it has been a long time since I saw that sort of crowd there.It costs money however to advertise and Cecil Sharp House has not got it and it is left for each individual event organiser to advertise their own event.The recent interest in Ballroom Dancing may be the lifeline to this old building.Ballroom Dancing may not be everybodys cup of tea on this site, but a recent event there indicated that this may be taking off
in a big way.Any interest in any type of dancing leads to interest in all dancing and the other fringe events that occur in the building.
